Global Expansion

Creating Values Truly Recognized by the Global Market

Since its establishment, Olympus has been aiming to create new values from a global perspective. Starting in the United States and Europe, we have proactively implemented global strategies since the 1960s. As a result, we gained high recognition in the global market as a company with outstanding brand power in an imaging business encompassing digital cameras and medical business centering on gastroenterological endoscopes.

At the same time, we have started to entrust business operations to local staff from the early stage with the aim of establishing a community-based management structure that respects the culture, customs and market of each country of operations. Together with this, we formulated a globally integrated business structure to enable speedy decision making that takes into account the characteristics of businesses and changes in markets. Furthermore, based on the Olympus Group Environmental Charter, we are proactively addressing environmental issues at our bases around the world by leveraging our environmental management system.

The Olympus Group's Social IN management philosophy is at the foundation of its corporate activities around the world. Sharing in individual societies' senses of value in their respective business regions and promoting healthy and happy human lives through its business operations, Olympus will continue to reinforce its corporate brand power and create values truly recognized in the global market.
